Granted: 1988-10-19
Abstract: A disposable maximum reading thermometer comprises a body (40) in which a capillary passage is defined, a reservoir (41) communicating with the passage and a heat expansible indicator medium (46) contained in the reservoir. The reservoir and the passage are adapted to allow expansion of the medium in the passage when the medium is subjected to heating. At least a part of the passage wall exposable to the indicator medium is adapted to undergo a detectable and irreversible change of its light penetration characteristics when brought into contact with the medium. The capillary passage is defined by a rod (48) arranged in a longitudinally extending bore (42) of the body (40). The surface of the rod is frosted (matt) or opalized, preferably by a mechanical treatment, and adapted to be deopalized when brought into contact with the medium. The medium is preferably a greasy substance having an index of refraction substantially identical to the index of refraction of the material of the body (40) and a melting point range of some degrees centigrade in the relevant temperature range.

Title: Knee brace
IPC: A61F5/01
Filed: 1982-06-24
Granted: 1986-02-19
Abstract: A knee brace comprises generally U-shaped upper and lower support members for fitting around the upper and lower leg above and below the knee joint; two pairs of upper and lower support arms extending downwardly and upwardly, respectively, from the upper and lower support members along opposite sides of the patient's upper leg; and polycentric hinges for pivoting the upper support arms to the lower support arms adjacent lateral and medial sides of the knee joint. Floating condyle pads are affixed to fixed inside portions of the polycentric hinges. The condyle pads are held in direct contact with the lateral and medial sides of the patient's knee joint. The condyle pads are restrained from rotational movement but are hinged so they can pivot toward or away from each other about common generally vertical axes within the space between the polycentric hinges. The condyle pads can be spring-biased inwardly by their hinges for contact with opposite sides of the knee joint during swinging movement of the upper and lower leg about a horizontal axis. Flexible and longitudinally elastic upper and lower straps are releasably secured to the upper and lower limb support members. The straps extend in opposite directions away from the sides of the upper and lower support members. This provides a de-rotation strapping system which inhibits twisting of the lower leg relative to the upper leg about a vertical axis.

Abstract: The invention is concerned with a process of removing cadmium from acid, especially P2O5-containing solutions by liquid/liquid extraction with the aid of alkyl amine salts that are dissolved in an inert, organic solvent. The cadmium ions are removed from the acid, aqueous phase and are enriched in the organic phase. The cadmium-containing organic phase, subsequently, is re-extracted with an aqueous salt solution, with the cadmium ions migrating from the organic phase into the aqueous phase. The process is particularly suitable for extracting cadmium from concentrated, highly acid aqueous solutions.

Abstract: Un mélangeur, prévu tout d'abord pour la décongélation de matériaux biologiques congelés, est conçu pour utiliser le mécanisme de plateau tournant d'un four à micro-ondes (33), un récipient (4, 30) étant porté en cercle par le mécanisme de plateau tournant (4) et tournant simultanément autour d'un axe transversal. Dans un mode de réalisation, ce récipient est un tambour cylindrique (4) porté par un berceau (3) remplaçant le plateau tournant. Une transmission (5), par exemple des roues de friction (13, 14) ou des engrenages (17, 18; 20) entre le tambour et la structure fixe (17; 19; 22) à l'intérieur du four, entraîne la rotation du tambour autour de son axe lorsque le berceau tourne. Alternativement, le récipient (30) est sphérique et le plateau tournant (34) bascule de telle manière que le récipient est incliné vers une paroi (35) du four. La rotation du plateau tournant provoque sa coopération avec d'autres parois (37, 38), produisant ainsi une action de basculement.
